Honestly, I can't even imagine pairing it with the pain and stiffness of RA as well.

And....I'm still gonna waggle my finger at you and tell you to take care of yourself. Fresh stuff is better than processed....and it's still possible to eat healthy even when you're not up to cooking....fruit, low fat cheese, salad, greek yogurt....these are the things I grab when I'm without the time or energy to cook. And they help me stay in balance.

And take your meds please....I know what a pain it can be, but it's important. We want to keep you around!
The combination of diabetes and RA does make life interesting some days, especially with the wonderful lack of sunshine on this side of the pond.

I promise, hand on my heart, I am taking care of myself now, I'm taking my meds, and eating healthily cos I have no intention of going anywhere anytime soon, I've got so much more I want to do with my life
